Tips To Improve Your Golf Swing: Rotating Your Hands Through The Ball At The Point Of Impact
The main focus of today’s lesson is to make sure you are in the perfect position at the point of impact. The angle of the club head will determine the outcome of your shot whether that is hitting it straight, slicing it, hooking, etc. Now grab one of your irons and perform your regular swing. What we want to look for is the position of your hands and forearms at the point of impact.
Alright, get back into the impact position, acting like you are about to hit the golf ball. Now…. one thing we want to focus on is keeping our wrists straight and not letting them bend to the left or right at impact. Bending your wrists is known as a “wrist break” in the golf world, and it is not something that we want. A wrist break at impact will most likely cause a slice. However, what you do want is to “flip” your hands through the ball at impact. So, how do we learn how to do this? This little exercise should help you out with that….
The Wrist Watch Exercise
Ok, the easiest way for us to learn the proper form is if we can see the correct moves to make. This can be done easily with a simple wrist watch. So, go grab one…
Now that you have your watch let’s get started. The face of the watch should be pointing toward your target, this will probably be the green, as your leading arm approaches impact. Now when you come to the impact position, TURN YOUR HANDS OVER so the watch face is pointing towards the ground. This move forces your trailing wrist and forearm to “flip” on top of your leading wrist and forearm. Practice this technique several times so that it becomes a completely natural movement within your golf swing.
Properly rotating your wrists through the ball at impact will automatically “close” your club face which reduces that nasty slice and improves your total distance. This move will both reduce your slice, and add distance.
When implementing this tip, it’s important to note that your forearms should be working together. Keep your forearms as close to each other as possible through the impact zone. Once you master this technique you will be well on your way to longer, straighter shots, and a lower golf score
